Unguentum Herniosum, or an Unguent for Ruptures.

Take five and thirty Yolks of Eggs boiled hard, May Butter without salt half a pound. Mix them, and up∣on a Charcoal fire boil them, always stirring and scumming it, and when it appears like pure Oyl, let it be strongly prest, and reject the Faeces; afterward in the exprest Oyl, being yet warm, dissolve of our Balsamick oyl six ounces, oyl of Peter four ounces, Oxy∣croceum Plaster five ounces. Mix them, and make an Unguent according to Art.

Virtue and Use. It cures the Rupture of the Bow∣els; but the Patient must lye on his back in bed for eight or fourteen days, shunning excess both of meat and drink, and let him take heed of windy Diet, the part affected must be anointed twice a day, morning and evening, and the part duly swaddled or bound with things convenient, and by the Blessing of God he will be certainly cured. But in the mean time let him drink of our Decoction contra Herniam three or four spoonfuls at a time, and with these Remedies I have cured innumerable.
